Self-Ignition Stainless Steel Head MAPP Gas Torch 360° Swivel For Soldering, brazing

This torch puts the high priced Bernzomatics to shame. I probably coud have brass brazed that 3/8" rod with regular LP rather than the Mapp gas.

Just as good as the top dollar ones

This is a slightly unusual torch design. I have never used one quite like it before, but it does seem to work well in the right applications at least.The stainless steel nozzle glows orange hot for about an inch at the end when operated normally, but the rest of the tube is cooled by the gas flow so it won't melt the plastic.The torch is a bit loud as well, due to the higher velocity jet it produces compared to most hand torches.The angle can be pivoted so that you can use it hands-free for heating something while doing focused work with another heat source and brazing/soldering alloy.It seems to get things hotter in the focused jet than my other similarly sized torches do, though the jet is also somewhat narrower.No problems with the ignitor yet.Did melt a little of the plastic from radiative heat coming off a very large heated workpiece, ding one star for that for possible safety concerns, but it seems fine so far at least.

This torch it’s easy to use ,at the right price!

The torch has worked well, except the ignition clicker sometimes sticks down when pressed, and has to be manually reset. Not sure if it’s a weak spring or what. When you lift it it pops back into place

I guess I got what I paid for! I did not return it and thought I would wait until I needed it. When I went to use it today the igniter did not work on it. I tried to return it but it was past the return date.

Calidad, precio

Item is made cheap. Not worth the price
